Junita Sirait Horas! I am a software developer [1] :) Currently, I'm a Computer Science M.Eng. student at Princeton University, graduating in May 2025. In the summer of 2024, I am interning at Amazon Web Services in Seattle, WA as a Software Development Engineer Intern. Prior to pursuing my M.Eng. degree, I have worked as a full-time software engineer at Deutsche Bank, New York. During my undergraduate studies at Wellesley College majoring in Computer Science, I also participated in software engineering internship and undergraduate research. I'm mainly interested in software engineering, data science, and machine learning -- especially privacy and fairness in machine learning. |

Audience-based news source characterization using probabilistic matrix factorization
GitHub repo
I built an interaction data from the share counts of news articles in various subreddits (communities within Reddit), then used PMF algorithms with different priors and approximation techniques to extract latent feature vectors of news sources. I then explored the utility of these latent features in characterizing news sources and identifying similar news sources. Inspired by my undergraduate thesis. |
